The bullet profile makes all the difference. Made my .44 Russian chambered carbine a pure pleasure to take to a match. Will be my 'take to' for the Grand Muster this June at Sargent, Nebraska. Nothin' better than a happy shooter, eh Alan? ;D

Another trick is to slather BP lube over the chambers mouths before shooting a la percussion style.

I will be shooting APP loads in my .44 Russian First Model No. 3 at a Black Powder night shoot on Friday.  They lack the bushing, just as the Schofields do.  Ill let you know how it goes.

Spencer Shooting Society / Re: New to me Spencer Carbine.. serial possibility help
« Last post by Two Flints on Today at 05:13:08 AM »
Gtbpappy,

Sorry, no serial #s even close to your 24281  .  .  . nearest one is 24,477, a Spencer Carbine issued to Company L, 2nd New York Volunteer Cavalry in March of 1865.

Hope this helps.  Just curious, how many Spencers do you own?  We've done this before, the search of serial #s, that is?

Entertaining read 1st person account  :),,, Prof

I endevour to entertain!

After all, it IS a game.
And we were encouraged to maintain costume & personna

One day I hope to get my pedlars’ cart together… all the bits are in the new workshop…. Somewhere… under Mrs Marvels boxes of yarn and cloth….

Howvere it may no longer be worth the bother since all the clubs but one have dried up around me!

“Used to be” there were 4 or 5 Different clubs offering 2 to 3 weekend shoots per month, ~ 1/2 hr away!

Since “the troubles” and the demise of SASS there is now only one, an hour away, offering 1 or 2 shoots per month.
And they want to start at 8 am.
And then all pack up and run away home.

Shoot, they finish before I wake up these days 😫😢

And I will never see a COWS group within 3 hours of me.

Oddly, there “was” a group that was trying to negotiate with “the founders” over the entire “foundes ranch”.
That fell thru.
Now the whole shebang is up for sale thru a ranch broker for less than half the original asking price.
Still no takers.

But the neighbors are happier now that .50 cal mg and small cannon are no longer going off….

Your humble babbler and  prognosticator

Howdy all
As I write this I am still grinning. After what seemed an endless uphill battle with my Cimarron .45 Colt Spencer ,it is now as it should have been from the start. When I got it back from it's 2month + vacation, back to Cimarron it was about 85% reliable feeding. After getting Tom at Accurate Molds to make me a custom mold I tested it with 7 dummy rounds a total of 6 times for 42 rds. The noses were getting a bit beat up but I only had one slight 'bobble' and it fed with just a tiny lever jiggle. Today I took it to the range with 'Tom's' bullet loaded cartridges. I ran 5 magazines full thru it without the slightest feeding problem. This was working the lever normally, working it semi slowly, hesitating at the bottom of the stroke etc. No matter how I worked it the feeding was flawless. Not needed was the "working a Spencer with authority, tipping it down to feed or up to eject, holding my mouth a certain way" or any other antics. It just worked like any other quality rifle. To say I am pleased would be an understatement. :) I am going to try to attach a couple of pix but doubt I will be successful in that.
